IPRE: a Dataset for Inter-Personal Relationship Extraction
This dataset facilitates information extraction and knowledge graph construction research by providing the first dedicated resource for inter-personal relationship extraction.
The authors tackled the lack of annotated data for inter-personal relationship extraction by introducing IPRE, a new dataset with over 41,000 labeled sentences for 34 relation types, including about 9,000 manually annotated sentences.
Inter-personal relationship is the basis of human society. In order to automatically identify the relations between persons from texts, we need annotated data for training systems. However, there is a lack of a massive amount of such data so far. To address this situation, we introduce IPRE, a new dataset for inter-personal relationship extraction which aims to facilitate information extraction and knowledge graph construction research. In total, IPRE has over 41,000 labeled sentences for 34 types of relations, including about 9,000 sentences annotated by workers. Our data is the first dataset for inter-personal relationship extraction. Additionally, we define three evaluation tasks based on IPRE and provide the baseline systems for further comparison in future work.
